Water Temp Gauge (lake/river/bayou/swamp)

[jester]

Robert,

Don’t you know if is better to ask for forgiveness then permission. But I guess that could be a reason I am still not marred.

Also i dont know if the PP system uses the same Paddle wheel or if it has its own.

This is what I'm looking at getting this season. It replaces our depth gauge and gives depth, air temp and water temp.

this is the gauge i put in my boat it does water / air temp and depth . itis a nice eazy to use gauge with keel ofset for low depth to . here is the web sit you can get a in hull depth teansducer to.

this is the gauge i put in my boat it is eazy to work it has water and air temp/ depth with keel setting for the low depth alarm.you can get the one with through hull depth sensor to. if it will let me load the web sit this time i hope. www. boatersland.com. it will not let load the link said invalid file

i had the faria in my old boat, it worked great. we now look at the water temp on PP, would be nice to see constant on, but i am glad to have the PP. good luck on the omega stuff. a long time a go in school i used to do a little work with that stuff, but would not venture to try it now, maybe just too lazy.

Okay, I confimed the stock paddle wheel in my boat does have the temp sensor built into it. Curently the temp. sensor portion is not wired into anything. (It is waiting for PP)

The paddle wheel in my '07 LSV and most likely most S.C. boats is an Airmar ST 300 and it has 5 wires coming of the head. The sensor wires for temperature are white and brown. The sensor is a standard 10K thermistor. All I have to do know is find an in-expensive but nice looking display for a good price and I am gold.

If anyone else is thinking they might look into this, the wires you are looking for are up under the dash by the speedo's. If you don't have PP you will find a 6 pin connector that is just hanging there waiting for PP, or some cheap guy like me to find a temp display.

S.C. helped me identify the location of the empty six pin connector and Airmar confirmed that the paddle wheel in my boat is both speed and temp.

As with any modification be careful and don't take my advice and look into it yourself so you don't cause a problem on your boat. If I find a display I will post it on the site.

Overtons also has it; they run specials and maybe you can get it cheaper.

I have the all white Teleflex, but I will probably trade it out for the Faria because it matches the guages that I have alreadu

I was just reading over all this and let me ask..or clarify.. I have the 08 with the Standard cruise control not the PP upgrade system. So there should be a 6 pin connector under my dash and that has the wires for the temp gauge in it? I have been looking at getting a water temp gauge, i just don't want to drill a whole in my boat.

Sounds like the impeller that registers the boats water speed is the one your talking about and that is the one with a built in temp sensor? I jsut need to figure out the harness and tap the temp prob portion to a new guage? Am i also correct to think that since i already ahve a Depth gauge from the factory i can replace that with a new gauge such as the one in the post above to dispay depth and water temps?
